Coexistence of Unstable Angina Pectoris and Wolff-Parkinson- White Syndrome Developed After Consumption of Energy Drink

Abstract

Interest in energy drinks and their consumption are increasing in recent years. The underlying motivation for the users is mostly enjoyment or enhancement of performance and attentiveness. However; energy drinks also have unwanted side effects such as cardiac symptoms. A small amount of data is available about the cardiac problems caused by energy drinks. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a congenital heart disease, causing tachycardia and very rarely sudden death. In this case, we aimed to represent a young case diagnosed with unstable angina pectoris and intermittent Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, developed after consumption of energy drink.

Enerji İçeceği Tüketimi Sonrası Gelişen Unstabil Anjina Pektoris ve Wolff-Parkinson-White Sendromu Birlikteliği

Abstract

Enerji içeceklerine ilgi her geçen gün artmakta ve enerji içeceği tüketimi de buna paralel olarak artmaktadır. Kullanıcılar çoğunlukla keyif almak, performans ve dikkati artırmak amacıyla enerji içeceklerini kullanmaktadır. Ancak enerji içecekleri istenmeyen kardiyolojik olaylara neden olabilirler. Literatürde enerji içeceklerinin yol açtığı kardiyolojik sorunlar az da olsa yayınlanmaktadır. Wolff-Parkinson-White sendromu taşikardilere neden olan, seyrek olarakta ani ölümün görülebilebileceği doğumsal bir kalp hastalığıdır. Bu olguda enerji içeceği tüketilmesi sonrası unstabil anjina pektoris ve intermitant Wolf-Parkinson-White sendromu saptanan genç bir olguyu sunduk.
